TONIGHT
Strategic Firing operations will continue into the evening from Mt Wilson down to the Redbox Road as favorable weather conditions allow. Structure engines will be in the desert foothills to continue monitoring and to respond to smoke checks in the communities. Much of the lower eastern through the southern perimeter remains in patrol status. Crews, engines and equipment continue to strengthen containment lines and mop up hot areas near the perimeter. In the northeast crews will be focused on keeping the fire in the existing footprint. A virtual community meeting was held yesterday the corrected closed-captioned version will replace the live version as it is finished. All of the fire updates and community meeting videos are available on the Bobcat fire youtube channel at: bit.ly/3iQy9zp.
TODAY
Today lower temperatures, higher humidies coupled with reduced winds reduced fire activity throughout the fire area. Conditions were not favorable for strategic firing for most of the day, but it did begin late in the shift north of Mt. Wilson. Crews and dozers were successful in building multiple sections of direct and indirect lines. On the northwest side of the fire indirect dozer line was completed into Antelope Valley and crews started scouting for opportunities for direct line. Crews continued to look for opportunities to construct fireline north from Highway 2 to the valley floor.
WEATHER
The weather tonight and on Wednesday will be warmer and drier than during the last couple of shifts. Thursday and Friday will be similar. On Saturday, a significant warming and drying trend will begin, with the possibility of gusty northeast winds.
